Applied nonsingular astrodynamics

Jean Albert Kechichian, Author | Cambridge : Cambridge University Press | Cambridge aerospace series | 2018

This essential book describes the mathematical formulations and subsequent computer simulations required to accurately project the trajectory of spacecraft and rockets in space, using the formalism of optimal control for minimum-time transfer in[...]

Navigation and guidance of orbital transfer vehicle

Xuefeng Li, Author ; Chaobing Li, Author | Singapore : Springer | Navigation: Science and Technology | 2018

This book uses the entire flying process, starting from ground launching of the orbital transfer vehicle (OTV) to injecting payload into earth synchronous orbit, as an example for real-world engineering practices. It discusses in detail the ana[...]

How spacecraft fly : spaceflight without formulae

Graham Swinerd | [S.l.] : Praxis Publishing | 2008

About half a century ago a small satellite, Sputnik 1, was lauched. The satellite did very little other than to transmit a radio signal to announce its presence in orbit. However, this humble beginning heralded the dawn of the Space Age. Today l[...]

How spacecraft fly : spaceflight without formulae

Graham Swinerd | [S.l.] : Praxis Publishing | 2008

The aim of this popular science text is to explain aerodynamic and astrodynamic flight without the use of mathematics, in an informal style, for non-technical readers who are interested in spaceflight and spacecraft. The book will open with a co[...]
